Screen RantJacob ZerankoJul 20234.5/5 starsThankfully, these weaknesses are overpowered by everything else and never become apparent until after the halfway point. From beginning to end, My Friendly Neighborhood is a wonderful game full of mystery, tension, clever design, and phenomenal performances. This is a must-play title that will hopefully gain the traction and attention it deserves.

DestructoidZoey HandleyJul 20238.5/10Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

SVGGabran GrayJul 20236/10While not scary per se, "My Friendly Neighborhood" delivers an engaging series of puzzles, a goofy world, and an irreverent take on the survival horror genre.

The JimquisitionJames Stephanie SterlingAug 20237/10My Friendly Neighborhood offers a unique execution of a conceit that’s otherwise become trite among horror games. Taking the “spooky kiddy thing” idea and pulling it onto a framework built from equal parts BioShock and Resident Evil smartly separates it from the ocean of similar concepts in the genre, even if none of its individual components are particularly original. It’s sadly let down from a lack of variety and consequently runs too long, unable to stay fresh or surprising enough to sustain its runtime. However, it’s a fun ride while it lasts, and it’s story is charming enough to be worth seeing through to the end.
